TT MEANS SOMETHING.

A very significant fact to the residents
of Bucklin is, that the Chicago, Kansas
s. Nebraska railway officials have re-
served for depot grounds and side tracks
more right of way on the town site Of
Bucklin than on any other small town
along the line in Southwest Kansas The
grounds are 1900 feet long by 800 feet
wide. One switch is 1, 200 feet long, an
other 1, 200 feet long, making in all 1890
feet of switching. No other place. west
of Pratt, have they reserved so much
ground for depot switches, etc. This
certainly means something and it seems
to us that this is intended as thejunction
point for branch of the Rock Island
road running to Dodge City. The survey
has been made to and from this place,
and we understand the profile shows an
easy grade to Dodge City. The enter
prising citizens of that city are doing
good work to secure this branch, and the
citizens of this town should be willing to
do all in their power to help build this
line. Unity must be had if this is made
go. Dodge is circulating petition ask
ing the Board of Commissioners to call
an election to vote county aid to the en-
terprise. Now if Dodge City wants to
and will do what is right she can have
the hearty cooperation of this section

In a speech at Abiline on suffrage
Senator ingalls, makes one or two state
ments that sound eccentric, to'say the
least, but which he supports in a very
plausible manner:
Il have no hesitancy whatever in de-
claring that negro suffrage in this coun-
try has been an absolute and unqualified
failure.
Il am confident it would be a wise
measure to prevent, by proper legislation
all other immigration from any other
country on this earth for the next twenty
five years, and allow the great mass of
people now here to assimilate and become
blended and welded together, to become
schooled and educated in the political
platform and our jury systems and our
national institutions, and until we should
have great mass of homogeneous Amer
lean citizens that would say to all ma
tons of the earth, this continent has been
reserved for Americans, from the north
pole down to the tropics" Great ap-
plause.

A wise and thoughtful man is usually
found promptly in his place at meal time.
1t is one of the most discouraging things
in the world, to a housewife who prides
herself on good cooking, to have the
head of the domestic circle, and the chief
object of all the nice, delectable things
that are placed upon the table, dilatory in
connection with the family meal hours;
and to be periodically absent from the
dining room during the most important
daily events of household economy, is
like absolute persecution to her who
takes such delight in presenting will
filed table to all the members of a fam
ily.-The State.

The suspension of the excursion rate
on western railroads is over, and Kansas
has good cause to rejoice. 1t might
have been known beforehand that an I'M
Just and unwarranted Interpretation of
the Interstate commerce law which pre-
cludes all concessions to excursion par
ties would not stand the test of summer
passenger traffic. The Frisco opened
the ball by making half-fare rate to the
Dunkards' convention at Ottawa, Kan
sas and the other roads readily followed
its lead. The Frisco has now announced
an excursion rate to all Kansas points,
and an excursion war is imminent. The
inevitable result will be to give an addi-
tional impetus to the great Kansas boom.
In every community there must be
some few men who will take the lead in
all public enterprises or you would never
have town, nor be heard or known out
side the village you live in. The leaders
are misjudged They are not men who
want notoriety, or that want to be the
head and shoulders of their neighbOrs.
The love and patriotism they have for
their town prompts them to be active cit
liens always willing to lend helping
hand and say our town shall and must be
the banner city of the southwest. While
on the other hand the dissatisfied one sits
back, says nothing and does nothing for
himself or any one else. When some
thing is done to benefit and build up
town, he finds fault with the way it was
done, and in pompous manner tells how
it ought to have been done.
The fact that for long term OF years
the annual amount of rainfall in this dis
trict is found to be less than in the coun-
try east of the missouri river is calculated
to deceive until we take into cOnsidera-
ton the seasons when the rainfall is great
est in these two sections. 1t would he
ascertained by examining the meteorolo-
gical records of the district east OF the
Missouri river that large part OF the
rain and melted snow that goes to make
up the large total amount, falls in an
tumn, winter and early spring, when no
crops are growing and consequently at
season when rain is of little or no value,
often at times when it is positive in
iury by retarding work on the farm and
otherwise embarrassing the plans of the
farmer.
When we examine the meteorological
record of the districts of country from
thr Missouri river west to the Rocky
we find more desirable climatic
nearly the entire rainfall be-
ing distributed in showers during the
of April, May, June, July, Angus
and September; the remainder of the year
being subject to but little rain or snow.
Probably no part of the United States
can boast of greater number OF fine
days during the year than the region
known as the great plains y and eastern
people are rapidly learning of the desir
able climatic conditions prevailing in this
country, the great productiveness of the
soil and splendid business opportunities
offered, and are locating here in great
numbers. From present indications this
portion of the United States will have .
dense population within the next few

by the last census the state of Kan
sas was credited with a population OF
996, $685. Now, when the populotiOn OF
Kansas to the square mile is equal to that
of Ohio the state will have 5000, 900
when its population is equal to that OF
Massachusetts per square mile, it will
have twice that of Ohio, and we might
20 further and state that when Kansas
has as many inhabitants according to heI
area as England has, she will have pop
ulation of over 80, 600, 900. 1t cannot be
long at the present ratio of increase be-
fore Kansas has a population as great as
that of Ohio, and it is not difficult to
figure the increase in the value of her
lands, as the density of her popuation
increases. Caldwell Journal.

Lure him back to cares of earth.
But in meek submission yielding

Would not mar his peaceful rest
When the wintry storms are DER,
And the spring GENES fresh and fair,

And plant chosen flower there.

Potatoes from sootland.-The Ne.

Potatoes from ScOtland.-The New
York Times says Scotch potatoes, with some
consignments of the vegetable from Ire
land, are arriving at that port in considera
Bile quantities. This is the first time that
this has been the case for five years, al
though, off and on, there have been small
cargoes brought over and disposed of in
New York. The present movement OF the
Scotch product began about month ago
and since then the potatoes have been arriv-
ing at the rate of 10000 sacks a week. The
duty on these potatoes is Is cents bushel
of 60 pounds, AS they come they bring an
average price of $2,25 sack, The price is
not particularly remunerative, but it makes
the importation pay fairly well. These Eu
ropean potatoes are mostly Of what is known
as the "Magnum Bonum" variety. Others
are called "Regents" and champions" and
are Of slightly lower grade.
